Parents need to know that Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is a '90s action series about mythical monsters and gods and battles between forces of good and evil. Expect a lot of violent exchanges with swords, knives, clubs, and other weapons, but very little gore or human drama associated with them. The concept of blood sacrifice and multiple vengeful gods might raise some questions among your teens, which could be directed toward an exploration of mythology in its original form. As role models go, Hercules is as good as they come, thanks to his high moral standards, his willingness to fight for what he believes in, and his emphasis on inspiring those around him with his civic-minded actions. The sexy nature of this show's content is an important factor to consider for your tweens, so you might want to assess the messages sent by the revealing costumes and the female characters' lustful expressions toward the chiseled Hercules.
